SINGAPORE slipped one spot to seventh in this year's global ranking of the world's most innovative countries, but emerged top among its peers in South-east Asia.
In this year's Global Innovation Index, Switzerland kept its No 1 place for the seventh year in a row; Sweden, the Netherlands, the US and the UK rounded off the top five. All but one of the top 25 spots were taken by high-income economies; in 22nd place, China was the exception as an upper-middle-income economy.
